Hopefully someone seen one of these pieces of iron before

I'm still working to date the farmstead. Seeing signs of mid to late 19th century. The railroad was nearby, about 150 yards away.

Part of an andiron? Has a side with several grooves to match another part, plus shows some wear where a loose fitting part rubbed. Has an EA A marking on what appears to be an inner side. You can see where screws or set pins once were.

I see the resemblance but think this is heavier than that. It resembles a strongback like I used to deal with on Navy boiler doors. Thinking it was used for holding something together.

It resembles a block-plane blade clamp to me too.

first thing I thought of when I saw the pics , part of the guts to an old railroad jack .... but the holes don't match up , as far as I can tell ....

Have to look up planes and see what might match. Thanks.
